Nekia Jones verbals to University of Texas

Tuesday, August 14, 2012 by S. Fuller

Nekia Jones, of Beaumont,TX committed to the University of Texas. She will join Karen Aston and her Lady Longhorns as they strive to re-establish themselves as a strong competitor in the Big 12. The determining factor in her decision to choose Texas is “basically their academics are the best” Jones said, “and I have the same desire to work hard and win”. Jones, 5’11” combo-guard, is a fantastic playmaker with exceptional vision and skills. She will bring a tremendous amount of creativity to Texas in addition to complimenting her teammates.

Daneka Roberts, is thrilled to have her daughter stay close to home, but “would support and stand by her side no matter what the outcome was in her college selection”. Without a doubt, the ESPN four star recruit showed up and showed out in multiple ways this year, delivering impressive exhibitions of her talents, giving us plenty to talk and tweet about as her stock soared and locking down a spot on the Lady Longhorns roster. We will also get to see Jones in action as she hits the field joining the women’s track and field team.
